[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 417228, member: 6969"] The replacement tankitself may cost £500 or more especially if ot really has to be cuistom made. But the real issue here is charging for his incopmetence. it sounds like he didn't diagnose the fault properly and fixed it by trial and error, charging all the time for the time and pats he was using, some of which may have been unecessary. I will do immersion heater changes on a good tank, but if the tank looks the least bit dodgy I refer it to a plumber who usually replaces the tank. If the tank is old and on it's last legs you are only delaying the inevitable if you can "get away" without changing it this time so it might as well be done. The trouble with this job is she never got an estimate first so was unprepared for the amount and cost of the work needed, and doesn't have a proper itemised invoice so she doen't even know exactly what she is being charged for and if all of it is fair and correct or not.
